Why Jan Jacobson chose Downtown Charleston

Aside from our personal connection to Jacobson Building at 19 Broad, we would like to tell you more about what makes this property so special and attractive to all who visit Charleston.
Jacobson Building at 19 Broad's location is second to none: 1 block south of the Historic Charleston City Market, 1 block north of the iconic Battery on Charleston Harbor, 1 block west of Waterfront Park on the Cooper River, and 1 block east of Washington Park, the Four Corners of Law, and Museum Mile. Rainbow Row is less than 1/2 block around the corner on East Bay St.
Jacobson Building at 19 Broad is also located on one of the most famous, successful, and eclectic streets in the United States. Broad Street was listed among America's Top 10 Greatest Streets by the American Planning Association. Dubbed "Gallery Row," Broad Street is also Charleston's fine art destination. Broad Street boasts impressive dining options, ranging from wine and cheese shops to historic pubs to top-notch steakhouses.
Architecture and room size are also unique benefits of Jacobson Building at 19 Broad. Built in 1794, our apartments offer you the colonial architecture and historical intimacy of centuries old Charleston homes, while affording you the modern functionality and spacious comfort of a commercial building.
And last, but not least, is the value you receive by staying at Jacobson Building at 19 Broad. We quote competitive prices for our virtually unmatched locale. In essence our apartments offer the best home away from home for easy access to the history, architecture, coastal scenery, boutique shopping, art galleries, cuisine, and local culture that have won Charleston the World's Top Destination twice and the Nation's Top Destination seven times, by Conde Nast. Jacobson Building is a fraction of the cost of Inns in our area.
Allow Jacobson Building at 19 Broad to be your bridge to the authentic and sublime.

The apartment was just as advertised and the location can't be beat. We walked to all of the major attractions.

Jan, the owner, was very helpful throughout the entire process. We highly recommend her listing and would come back again.

The apartment was very well located, very clean, but the Wi-Fi was very spotty and the mattress I slept and was not very comfortable. Really nice owners to work with, I would stay again!

Owner's Response:

Thank you, Elizabeth, for your review. Wish you had notified us of the problems when you were here. We make it real easy to find us. Just went to the apartment to check the beds. We did find that one of the two king beds needed additional support underneath and have now rectified that problem. As for spotty internet, I can answer that with one word: Comcast! They are our only provider and we truly cannot control that; we do our very best.

This unit was perfect for our Charleston girls' weekend. The location had easy access to restaurants, bars, the market, and shopping. The apartment itself was bigger than we expected from the pictures -- thanks to some really tall ceilings. Beautiful exposed brick, good AC, and lots of seating made our time in the apartment very pleasant. The two full baths were great -- one is in a closet but it was big enough and didn't feel too cramped. The owner was very friendly and accommodating -- even allowing us to store luggage in the foyer before our flight left on our last day. Highly recommend.

The only challenge was the stairs to bring up luggage, no elevator.

Also, the stairs are very slippery when wet, one guest did slip and cut himself.

The odor of marijuana was constant and extreme.

We ignored it.

Owner's Response:

We clearly intend to inform all guests that we are a walk up. That's why the first line of descriptive copy detailing the apartment reads as follows, "After ascending 19 Broad's exterior staircase off Broad Street, guests enter a secured foyer located off the second floor landing." When we go up and down this staircase we hold on to the handrails and recommend that all customers do the same.

Jacobson Building, as shown on our cover picture, is adjoined to buildings on each side, in addition to outdoor decks and a citizens walkway, including a public sidewalk in front.

I'm happy you were able to ignore the odor, however had you alerted us, we would have checked with the other 3 apartments in Jacobson Building and employees next door.

Some things are best ignored when they are not putting anyone in danger.

Thank you for your Review.
